As production continues on Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, a new key plot detail for the upcoming Monsterverse movie has finally been revealed, confirming the titular duo’s next formidable opponent. The next installment is scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 26, 2027, three years after The New Empire’s theatrical debut.
What villain has been added to Godzilla x Kong: Supernova?
In a new listing posted on the Writers Guild of America West page as part of writer David Callaham’s feature writing credits, it has been confirmed that SpaceGodzilla will be making its official Monsterverse debut in Godzilla x Kong: Supernova. The said kaiju is expected to serve as the new sequel’s main villain.
SpaceGodzilla was first introduced in Toho’s 1994 movie Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla. The character is described as a mutated clone of the king of the monsters. It was created by Kensho Yamashita and Hiroshi Kashiwabara. After its feature debut, the extraterrestrial monster was next seen on the TV show Godzilla Island in 1997. The upcoming Monsterverse sequel serves as SpaceGodzilla’s second major appearance in a movie.
Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is being directed by Grant Sputore (I Am Mother) from a screenplay written by Dave Callaham. The cast will include Golden Globe nominee Kaitlyn Dever (Booksmart), Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey, Legion), Jack O’Connell (SAS: Rogue Heroes), Delroy Lindo (Sinners), Matthew Modine (Stranger Things), Alycia Debnam-Carey (Fear the Walking Dead), and Sam Neill (Jurassic Park), with Stevens reprising his role as Trapper from 2024’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The film is reportedly featuring “several new human characters alongside the beloved and iconic Titans Godzilla and Kong as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat.”
Legendary’s MonsterVerse franchise began in 2014 with Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla, which starred Elizabeth Olsen and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Due to its success, it was followed by several sequels, including 2017’s Kong: Skull Island, 2019’s Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong, and The New Empire. At the moment, Legendary is also producing a spin-off series with Apple TV, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, which is slated to return for a second season.
